You may have slept in such a way as to put pressure on the posterior auricular nerve to the point you damaged the axon. This may resolve but it may take a while. An evaluation by your primary care physician is indicated. Additionally, a screening for alcoholism and alcohol abuse is indicated with binge drinking. Your primary care physician should be able to use a brief questionnaire to let you know if you just need to cut back on the alcohol intake or if you have a problem with alcohol addiction.
It is possible you may have pinched nerve when sleeping on side, but such numbness should go away in few hours or a day; so ideally you need to go see a doctor, if needed referral to neurologist, and after full history and exam, may advise you to obtain blood test and MRI Brain; so consult your physician soon; hope this helps.
